UPDATED Graphic Explainer: The Differences Between the House and Senate Budgets

UPDATED THROUGHOUT: Part of a continuing series — Conservative groups, led by the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, have ramped up their opposition to the Senate Finance Committee’s budget.

TPPF has put a TV ad on the local cable system in Austin, which asks voters to call their Senators and demand they support a budget that doesn’t touch the Rainy Day Fund.

TFP sent a letter to Senators reminding them that any vote for a budget that would use money from the Rainy Day Fund to balance the budget would negatively scored by the organization. TFP is influential in tea-party associated groups that have forced the Republican establishment to the right.

Both groups favor the passage of the House budget without any extra spending from the Rainy Day Fund. How different is Sen. Ogden’s budget proposal from the budget passed by the House?
